* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', D.A.V.E, an A.I composed of various criminal personalities, managed to figure out Batman's identity. One of the factors he mentioned that he used to narrow down the population was the wealth and resource capacity needed to create all the equipment the Batman used.
** Further data he uses is age, gender, and people who'd have a motivation. This is the same method used by Bane in ''Comicbook/{{Knightfall}}''.
** One episode featured a politician who used his wealth to build a giant ship to forcibly take over Gotham. Someone remarked that only someone as rich as him could get all those toys. One then wonders how that remarker didn't connect Batman to Bruce Wayne after making that statement.
*** Though, one has to wonder with all the "how to videos" from forges to hand-made wrist flamethrowers on Website/YouTube, that someone hadn't thought that the person inside the Batman suit was just very handy with metalwork and basic technical design overall, and was just re-purposing junk into useful items.
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' by The Music Meister:
--->'''Music Meister''': His utility belt holds everything, can't find that at the mall!

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} is SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in Tim Burton's ''Film/{{Batman}}''. In one scene Batman rescues reporter Vicki Vale from the Joker's clutches using his grappling hook, and the Joker asks his men "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Used again later on when Batman uses the Batwing to steal all his poison-filled balloons, causing the Joker to scream why nobody told him he had one of those things.
** The Riddler has a whole freaking island fortress in ''Film/BatmanForever''. Assuming he had the foresight to commission this building project before he lost his scientist job, it still begs the "who built it" question.
** It's not explained all that well (due to really horrible editing) but pay ''very'' close attention to the background scenery when Nygma gives his big press conference: behind him there is a huge sphere of green glass and a light-box bearing the NYGMATECH logo. It's obviously intended to be the beginning of the Nygmatech "corporate headquarters" located on Claw Island, built from the ill-gotten profits of the Riddler and Two-Face's crime spree. Later additions, such as the giant replica of the Box, are constructed as the Boxes are sold as consumer goods. This is made much clearer in the PeterDavid novelization.
* In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', one of Riddler's patient session recordings has him ranting about Batman, and how he could possibly finance his operation. He quite wrongly assumes that he steals from villains he stops, and uses this to back his argument that Batman is the worst criminal of all. There is a minor explanation given in a chat with Oracle as to how Batman got a backup Batcave onto Arkham Island, but its security is notoriously lax.
** The detective mode reveals that the new security system with the forcefield doors are donated by Wayne Tech. That's how Bats got his Bat-cave in there. There are a couple of places that also make reference to Bruce Wayne contributing to restoration of various places in Arkham Asylum, further explaining the presence of many things convenient for Batman within the asylum.
* Again with the Joker in ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Batman 2]]'', after Batman defeats him in the beginning. {{Subverted|Trope}} somewhat as the wonderful toy in question (the Batwing) was not used to defeat him as soon as they entered the parking lot.
-->'''Joker:''' Where DOES he get these unbreakable toys?!
